The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 550

Charles smiled at Sheryl as he bid her good bye. Charlie was still holding her hands. Sheryl felt so much peaceful inside after having spent some time with Charles and Charlie. As for Charles, he did not want the moment to pass. "How about I pick you up at 7:00 tomorrow night?" Charles asked courteously. He had waited for his wife for the last three years. He could wait even longer only if it meant that he would be able to get her back in his life once again.

"Sher..." Charlie spoke with a sweet voice as he held her hand and kept swinging it in an indulgent manner.

The innocent smile and the earnest expectation in the boy's eyes melted Sheryl's heart. She nodded her head and agreed to meet them the next day.

Her reply brought a wide smile on the face of both father and son. They waved her as they got into the car. Charlie kept waving her with a smiling face for as long as he could see her. As for Sheryl, even she could not move from the place and kept waving him back. She could not understand why she felt so much at home and comfortable with them.

As Sheryl walked back to her room, she just could not get Charles's face off her mind. 'Where have I seen him before? Such a familiar face!' she thought to herself. His face kept flashing in her mind till the time she scolded herself to get over it. "Sheryl, what are you thinking about? He has his son, and you have a boyfriend and a daughter. You and him! Don't even think about it," said her practical mind.

But how could she negate the warmth she felt in their company? It was as if she had a very strong bond with both of them.

Charles and Charlie were unusually happy as they drove back to Leila's apartment. As he parked out side Leila's apartment and tried to get down, Charlie said,"Dad, I think you should rather avoid meeting her. Otherwise, she will think that you're willing to accept her."

"Did you... arrange for me to meet her deliberately?" Charles was rather taken aback by his son's statement. He could not help marvel at the intelligence and sensitivity of the three years old.

'Moreover, now that he is advising me not to meet his mother, I think he is supportive of me and Sheryl being together, ' he thought to himself.

"Do you mean Sheryl?" Charlie asked. With the very mention of Sheryl, a pleasant smile graced his face. Charlie did not mince his words as he spoke,"I like her. If she has no problem, I don't mind her being my stepmother."

Charles stroked his son's hair affectionately. What more could he ask for? 'Charlie is happy to accept Sheryl. But how about her? Will she accept him with an open heart?' he wondered.

His mind went back to the time they spent together. It actually felt like they were one close knit family. Sheryl seemed to be fond of Charlie. But would she treat him in the same manner even after getting married to him?

Then suddenly a disturbing thought stung his heart. His heart ached to think how his wife has forgotten everything about her past. And he didn't know why and how she lost her memory. 'Will she blame me for what happened in the past once she gets her memory back?' he thought to himself.

As he watched Charlie climb up the stairs, thousands of thoughts came to his mind. Finally when he saw the lights in his son's room on, Charles started the engine and drove away.

His jaws stiffened as he turned the steering wheel. He had a score to settle before going back to home.

After searching four night clubs, he finally found Eric in the fifth one. As usual, he was in a private room having a good time. "What are you doing here? I thought you didn't like these places," Eric gushed cheekily as Charles barged into his room.

"I'm here for you," Charles replied in a stern voice and furious eyes ready to gobble Eric down.

His grave voice and red eyes scared the hell out of Eric.

"Me? Why..." Before he could even finish, Charles' fist landed on his cheek.

The semi clad girls in Eric's room literally freaked out. Eric's companions came forward trying to stop Charles. But Charles growled,"Get out of here, now!" He casted a glaring hideous glance on all of them and motioned them to move out of the room immediately.

"What's wrong with you, Charles?" Eric asked nursing his bruised face. He then turned to his companions and said in a cold voice,"Leave us alone now. It's between the two of us."

Eric had never won a fight with Charles even as kids.

Now, it was the first time that they had been challenging each other as grown ups. Moreover Eric didn't even know the reason behind Charles's uncontrollable fury.
